Alright, I know the camera isn't broken because the camera works on any rom that isn't cyanogen based. I made sure i wiped all data and cache before installing cyanogen and I got the correct gapps too, but every time i try to load any camera app, it errors and shuts down. the integrated camera app says "cannot connect to camera" and then closes right away after opening it. How is this fixable? what am I doing wrong?
Bump, Im having the same issue. Its perplexing to say the least.
What camera are you using? I was on Paranoid Android 2.54 and when I flashed the 4.2 camera, it did not play nice. Taking a picture will freeze the app and then from that point on it never connected to camera. Are you pulling the right Gapps?

I flashed black bean v7 along with the gapps they posted on their website for bb7. I've been flashing the 4.1 gapps on the 4.1 Roms and 4.2 gapps on the 4.2 Roms. I did a bit more research and a few people have mentioned a bin file that they grab from the stock image and put into /data on the new rom. I'm going to try that in a bit.
Try this,

Hey all,
I decided to flash Jelly Belly 10.0 (4.2) and everything works fine until I flash the GAPPS- I've tried three different jb GAPPS from three different sources, and whenever I flash them, the next boot and from there on out is "setup wizard has stopped" and "com.android.GAPPs has stopped...", mostly giving me a Setup Wizard has stopped popup though, and it's keeping me from using the phone at all- not even pull down settings are responding.
Any ideas, maybe I'm not supposed to flash jb GAPPS?
Thanks!
AFAIK most of the 4.2 roms out include gapps in them, so there's no need to flash it over. Also, no official gapps package is out for 4.2 yet (most seem to contain pre-release versions of the 4.2 apps). That could be your problem.
I know what you're saying, but I'm also flashing the GAPPS linked in the ROM's original thread.... I also looked at the Pure AOSP 4.2 ROM for the VZW Nexus, they're linking to some 4.2 GAPPS package...I'll give it a go.
Thanks for replying!
Edit: Yeah that did it... For anyone else using Jelly Belly or any other AOSP 4.2 ROM, get GAPPS from here: http://old.bitsurge.net/android/gapps-4.2-JOP40C-121117.zip
Here's the thing, the issues that 4.2 has with this phone keeps me on 4.1.2. The issues the separate 4.2 camera and gallery have keep from flashing it.
However, the 4.2 camera and gallery that are on 4.2 ROMs right now work. If something doesn't work, it doesn't make it into a 4.2 ROM.
So, now you know what I'm asking... How can I specifically get the camera and gallery that are showing up in 4.2 ROMs?
Thanks

I have a 4.2 rom (baked bb7) that has a fully functioning camera but does not have photosphere. I tried this 4.2 camera mod and many others but the camera always froze when taking a regular picture. Photosphere worked great though. If you wanted the camera without the photosphere that is on this rom you should be able to extract and place the Gallery2.apk in system/app directory and change the permission to rw-r-r, then reboot. I haven't found a 4.2 mod with photosphere to work on this rom yet though.

I'll be damned, it was that easy. Many thanks to you.
Hi! I'm looking for a way to install camera app from 4.1 on my n7100.
Now I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1 with camera from 4.2 & it's awful! Focus doesn't work right & hdr mode too I tried installing stock 4.1.2 + camera from 4.2. It's the same, so it's not Cyanogenmod problem.
Plz help!
Hello.
Here the APK of the stock camera from my 4.1.2 XXDMG1.
I hope it will help you.

Can't install it
"app not installed"
tried to copy it to /system/app & reboot, still the same
Even tried to rename it to Gallery2.apk & replace the original Gallery2.apk in system/app (not Gallery.apk because of Cyanogenmod?).
how should I install it properly?

Sorry i don't know.
But on the stock ROM the galerie and the camera are two different APK.
And you can go directly in the galerie with the camera to show you the pic you just taken, so maybe its needed for it!
Try to instal them both in system APPS.
Here the original galerie to try with it.
as far as my knowledge goes you cannot use Samsung stock features on aosp ROMs like you cannot youse the Samsung camera on android aosp or AOKP ROMs they won't work as Samsung has highly integrated these modules with its touchwiz interface

I think exactly that is the issue. Samsung apps need also the TW framework. For AOSP I can recommend you to use Camera 360 from google play. Makes very good pictures and has a lot of features. App is also for free .
Decided to go 4.1 stock + root. The hdr camera is great, better that in camera 360 or any other app I saw. I also updated camera drivers just in case (turned out I had not the newest one). + I installed 4.3 stock camera with photosphere as a separate apk & that's all I need for now
iam having an issue with my galaxy s2 beanstalk rom my camera is not working
i have 4.4.2 installed plz help me out
Yeah , so far i hate the aosp camera app....it sucks. The touchwiz camera in 4.1 had so many great features....photosphere is a big turd.

Hi I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but I was wondering if anyone had a known fix for the camera for my t-mobile galaxy S3. It used to work before the last two snapshots of CM, now it just says Camera has stopped working on all Camera applications. Maybe I should go back to the last stable? That was a while now.. Thank you in advance! Also Have tried flashing Slimkat, seemed to work but I care for the ROM much. Maybe can someone point me in the direction of a good ROM to use?
Try Nexus Camera
I was on CM 11 M12 and was having a similar issue. Any time I would try to change the flash status the camera app would fail (Cannot Connect to Camera) and not come back until I rebooted the phone. I switched from CM11 M12 to Pac Rom 4.4.4 KTU84Q and had the exact same issue. Tried the CM Camera Fix App (CMFix) and that did nothing. I went and got the Nexus Camera App from the Play Store and haven't had any issues with the camera since. It's kind of weird because it appears to be the EXACT same camera but it worked for me.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to remedy this for a couple weeks now and am having no luck at all. The problem first started after updating from stock 4.1.2 to Slimkat 4.4.4. I'm rooted and I couldn't update over Kies, so I went straight to custom.
The Rom in general is fantastic and I would have liked to continue using it but in third party apps (snapchat) the front camera gave has the wrong aspect ratio, resulting in a stretched image and being ultimately unusable. I use snapchat a lot, and this was a dealbreaker for me. I asked in the qa thread, no reply so I tried others. The normal front camera works fine.
I've been flashing roms like crazy trying to find ones that worked for me, and I've found that the only ones that work are samsung based touchwiz ones.
I've googled around and the resounding answer is that it shouldn't be happening after CM updated, but every CM based rom results in the same issue.
I really like CM and it's derivatives and I'd like to go back to using it. Not a fan of touchwiz.
I've been through (in order):
Stock 4.1.2 (everything worked fine)
Slimkat 4.4.4 (fantastic, camera problem)
Dirtyunicorn (fantastic, camera problem)
CarbonRom (fantastic, camera problem)
CM11 (fantastic, camera problem)
AOSPA 4.6 (fantastic, camera problem)
Liquidsmooth 5.0 (favourite, but same front camera distortion)
Stock 4.4.2 (everything works, still touchwiz)
Likewise S5 4.4.2 (everything works, awesome rom, currently using)
if I try back to AOSPA 4.6 and same problem as before occurs
Every time it's a full wipe, fresh gapps install, etc
Thanks in advance.
E: All Rom versions are the current stable release as of about a week ago.
E: Using the current TWRP now, was using the current CWM touch up until I got a bootloop and had to odin in twrp to fix it.
Bump?

just a real shot in the dark , but tried clearing cache in snapchat ; or uninstalling then reinstalling. or if have tibu then restore from 4.1.2 when was working. is there a Q&A for snapchat ? sorry dont have more , probably already tried these. ¿
or here is a different version/style , dont know if it would make a difference tho.
